Creative England 50 a Book About England's Creativity Creative England 50 A book about England’s creativity Creative England is three years old. In that time we have invested over £14,436,230 in the games, TV, film and digital media industries. We have helped to create 49 new digital creative businesses and provided support to over 500 more. In the last two years we’ve helped 1,936 productions to film on location in the English regions, bringing over £171 million to local economies, and creating over 10,000 days of work for local crews. We’ve invested over £1,542,580 in the games industry and last year, we helped new directors create 24 short films – this year we’ll fund 40 more. This report is a celebration of our achievements and recognition of the contribution the Creative Industries make to our economy. The following 50 individuals and businesses demonstrate just what can be achieved with a little investment and a lot of talent.

They suffer from substantial skills shortages. They suffer from financial institutions that find it difficult to get out of their old habits and lend against intangible assets. Perhaps most significantly, they suffer from an investment culture characterised by a limited appetite Caroline for taking ‘risks’. The result is that the vast majority of the UK’s creative businesses struggle to access growth finance. This means talent is undeveloped, ideas unrealised, and opportunities lost.

  • Meaningful Choice As Expression of Creativity in Gameplay
    Meaningful Choice as Expression of Creativity in Gameplay A Preliminary Typology of Creative Gameplay in Videogames Abstract Gamification guru Yu-Kai Chou positions creativity as the ultimate motivational drive as it both addresses intrinsic motivation as well as positive emotions. Creativity and play have long been linked together and, despite many attempts to grasp them, have maintained elusive concept because their expressions have an enormous variety. Yet, creative gameplay has rarely been analyzed as a whole, research often lingering on a single variant of it, mostly tangible player production in videogames. This thesis offers a framework based on Chou’s concept of meaningful choices for identifying varieties of creative gameplay and offers a preliminary typology of creative gameplay in videogames.

  • European Premiere of Breathe to Open the 61St Bfi London Film Festival New Official Trailer and Poster Released
    EUROPEAN PREMIERE OF BREATHE TO OPEN THE 61ST BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL NEW OFFICIAL TRAILER AND POSTER RELEASED Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy star in Andy Serkis’ BREATHE, STXInternational. Embargoed until 9.30am GMT, Thursday 29 June, 2017 LONDON – Thursday 29 June, 2017: The 61st BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express® is delighted to announce that this year’s Opening Night gala will be Andy Serkis’ feature directorial debut, BREATHE. Based on the true story of Robin Cavendish, BREATHE is a heart-warming and highly emotional celebration of bravery and human possibility, a love story about living every breath as though it’s your last. The film stars Andrew Garfield (Hacksaw Ridge) as Cavendish and Claire Foy (The Crown) as his wife Diana. BREATHE will receive its European premiere on Wednesday 4 October at the Odeon Leicester Square. Director Andy Serkis, producer Jonathan Cavendish and lead actors Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy are expected to attend along with other members of the cast and crew. There will be a live cinecast of all the excitement from Leicester Square and simultaneous screenings taking place at cinemas across the UK. From a script by twice Academy Award-nominated screenwriter William Nicholson (Everest, Les Misérables and Gladiator), Andy Serkis (globally known for his performances including, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) delivers a hugely impressive directorial debut with this inspirational true story of love without limits. Adventurous and charismatic, Robin Cavendish has his whole life ahead of him when he is paralysed by polio whilst in Africa and given just months to live.

  • A Level Music
    A level Music Areas of Study – Other Perspectives NB: updates to this document were made in April 2021 and these are highlighted in yellow. © artwork: Mark Bolitho | Origami photography Pearson Education Ltd/Justin Hoffman Introduction This qualification features a Component entitled Appraising. The purpose of this component is for students to develop their listening and appraising skills through the study of music across a variety of styles and genres. The content is grouped into six areas of study, containing either two or three set works. This component gives students the opportunity to reflect on, analyse and evaluate music in aural and/or written form. To achieve this objective, students need to use their knowledge and understanding of musical elements, context and language to make critical judgements about the repertoire and context of music within the areas of study. Students should also study a range of pieces beyond these set works. The suggested other musical pieces for each area of study (see Appendix 4 of the specification) provide students with breadth, enabling them to place their knowledge of musical elements, context and language in a wider context, and apply their knowledge and understanding to more pieces of music. The suggested other music can help students to relate their learning to music in the set works, but their study is not compulsory. Teachers can identify and teach other pieces of music to support their students’ learning. The following music and musicians are examples of how each of the areas of study can be approached from a diverse range of other perspectives. The pieces have been chosen to encourage students to think beyond the mainstream and over-represented composers and styles of music, and instead to consider alternative and less well-known types and origins of music.

Like our Northwest Film & Video Festival, which celebrates the unique visions of artists in our community, PIFF seeks to engage, educate, entertain and challenge. We invite you to explore and celebrate not only the art of film, but also the world around you. It is said that film is a universal language—able to transcend geographic, political and cultural boundaries in a singular fashion. In the spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous observation, “There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler who is foreign,” this year’s films allow us to discover what unites rather than what divides. The Festival also unites our community, bringing together culturally diverse audiences, a remarkable cross-section of cinematic voices, public and private funders of the arts, corporate sponsors and global film industry members. This fabulous ecology makes the event possible, and we wish our credits at the back of the program could better convey our deep appreci- ation of all who help make the Festival happen.

Andante Nitin Sawhney Water - Transition 7 Claude Debussy La Cathédrale engloutie Hélène Grimaud, piano Mat Hennek, installation photo FIN DU CONCERT VERS 21H30 L’infini, et au-delà… Après avoir donné le tout premier récital de l’histoire de la Philharmonie de Paris, Hélène Grimaud revient seule sur scène, mais dans une toute autre configuration. Avec « Woodlands and beyond… », elle repense le récital, ce concept créé par Franz Liszt dans les années 1840 et qu’il est peut-être temps d’envisager sous un jour nouveau. La musicienne a souhaité avec « Woodlands and beyond… » mêler les arts, faire se percuter les sens, en une symbiose apte à favoriser la rêverie et ces fameuses correspondances chères à Baudelaire. La juxtaposition de la musique, qui reprend celle de l’album Water, et des photographies de la nature de l’artiste allemand Mat Hennek, rend possible l’éclosion d’un nouveau champ imaginaire. Des strates de conscience, des rapproche- ments inattendus se dévoilent pour les auditeurs/spectateurs. Et pour l’artiste elle-même. Rappelons que pendant certaines périodes de sa vie, Hélène Grimaud n’a pas travaillé sur l’instrument mais mentalement, par associations d’images, de couleurs.
